Solutions are homogeneous mixtures of two or more pure substances. ... At the
point of saturation, no more solute will dissolve in the solvent. ... In this way, they
will shift to the most probable, most dispersed state available, the state of ...
Gasoline and water do not mix because the nonpolar hydrocarbon molecules
would ...

The substance in the smallest amount and the one that dissolves or disperses is
... In most common instances water is the solvent. ... These molecules mix readily
because both types of molecules engage in hydrogen bonding. ... Hydrocarbons
are present in oils, grease, fats, dry cleaning solvents, turpentine, gasoline, etc.

The extent to which one substance dissolves in another depends on the nature of
... and solute molecules, polar liquids tend to dissolve readily in polar solvents. ...
Gasoline, which is a mixture of hydrocarbons, is immiscible in water. .... The
solubility of most solid solutes in water increases as the temperature of the
solution.
